Endemic avian tuberculosis is a constant threat to any bird collection. Controlling measures by serological tests must be supported by both euthanization of positive birds and removal of all contaminated material from the affected enclosures. Quarantine and strict hygienic measures should control reinfection. Reinfection of captive populations through wild birds is comparatively unlikely.
